S4: model simulations, null delta

The scripts are written in Python.

Related Scientific Manuscript: A 2D Model to describe the mechano-sensory behaviour of self-supporting shoots of climbing plants against gravity. Available at: https://zenodo.org/record/8005688

This code integrates the system of equations (5) of the main manuscript, which represents the model for the growth of a searcher shoot. In particular, in this version, the parameters are calibrated for the C. guianense case.

First, run the script 

data_extraction.py

in order to extract the parameters from the file named "congui_p1s2_radius.csv". That .csv  file contains (i) volume density, (ii) mass of a single leaf, (iii) single leaf density (not used by the current script), (iv) flexural rigidity, (v) radius, (vi) radial expansion rate, in function of the distance from the apex (first column).  The script "data_extraction.py" extracts the parameters of the function, which are saved in the file 

parameters.csv

Then, run the script

main.py

to integrate the equations of the model. This script reads its own functions from the file "classes.py", while the morpholelastic parameters are taken from "parameters.csv". This script can perform an optimization. In that case, the parameters are saved in the file 

sensing_parameters_saved.csv
